Tip 3: Know Your Curling Irons -- and What They're Made Of What's the secret to mastering how to curl hair like a pro? Knowing your curling irons. Just like our hair, curling irons come in all shapes and sizes and are made with different materials. Knowing which curling iron is best suited for you could just be your hair-curling saving grace.

Ceramic and tourmaline irons: These are the first choice of professionals because they are the healthiest for your hair. Moticka says ceramic irons disperse heat through your hair more evenly, while tourmaline irons control frizz by releasing negative ions that close the cuticle down and lock in moisture.
